Film Noir Qualities!!!

By Garrett
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-03-11

Fomapan 100 gives my Regular 8MM Movies a film noir touch, I feel!!! I love that it is intriguingly from The Czech Republic and it shoots beautifully in my collection of 8MM Movie Cameras; particularly my Revere Model 84 with a three-lens turret and the capability to shoot up to 48 frames per second which this filn handles extremely well! And I am extremely grateful to B&H for making this availale and keeping film rolling along in more ways than one!!!

Great film the use for home-developing

By Tyler
Rated 5 out of 5

This film is wonderful to use if you plan on home-developing it! The leader is long enough on both ends so that you can use it after developing as a leader for threading the film through the projector mechanism. I used a bleach made up of 0.06 moles of K2Cr2O7 & 0.81 moles of sulfuric acid in 1,890 ml of distilled water. The clearing bath was made up of 1.34 moles of Na2SO3 in 1,890 ml of distilled water. The 1st & 2nd developer was Photographer's Formulary D-19 substitute at full strength. The processing times and temperatures were modified from a youtube video uploaded by Filmkorn. The first developer was exposed to the film for 8 minutes at 20C. Then, the film was rinsed with water around 20C. The film was bleached for 7 minutes at 20C (the temperature stayed the same throughout the entire developing process). After 1 minute of bleaching, the developing tank's lid can be opened, exposing the film to normal room light. The film was rinsed with water (same temperature, 20C, as throughout the process). The film was exposed to the clearing bath for 2 minutes, and then rinsed. The film was then re-exposed to artificial light for 2 minutes. The 2nd developer was added for 5 minutes, then rinsed. Finally, the film was fixed with Kodak sodium thiosulfate hardening fixer for 4 minutes, and rinsed for 5 minutes. The film was dried, spliced, put on a reel, and projected. The image was clear, focused, and was very appealing. Overall, I believe Filmkorn's developing process works very well. Again, I modified it slightly for making 1/2 gallon solutions, and used Photographer's Formulary D-19. A beautiful reversal image was formed. If you are just starting out with home-developing, I would 100% recommend this preparation for yielding a reversal image. I am a high-school student that hasn't even completed my chemistry course, and still I was left with a wonder film. With that being said, altogether, this is a wonder film to buy, and the developing process I used works very well with this film... I hope this helped someone out. If you can, feel free to ask questions about the process, and I'll try to answer them!

question

What is the expiration date? When were they manufactured?
Asked by: Anonymous
B&H buys and sells film in bulk. In general we regularly maintain fresh film stock. All of our film is at least 6 months from expiration (typically much longer). Anytime film stock is less than 6 months from expiration we sell it in a separate section and label it as short-dated film and also price it with a slight discount (again due to the volumes we sell this rarely occurs). Unfortunately we do not have access to our inventory to hand inspect the expiration date of any of our films prior to purchase.

question

Will this film work with a kodak brownie?
Asked by: Anonymous
Most vintage Kodak Brownie 8mm movie cameras can use this film. The reel needs be manually flipped over from one side to the other in order (in a darkened room or closet)r to expose the entire 10 meter reel..

I have a Revere 116-D regular 8mm camera that only has an ASA dial setting between 10 and 40 ASA. If I use this Fomapan 100 ISO film and film at the 40 ASA setting on the camera, what number would I need to ask for the film to be pulled when getting developed? Would it be -1 or more?
Asked by: Devin
Ask them to pull it about 1-1.5 stops.

Is it possible to develop and fix this film ...

Is it possible to develop and fix this film normally with BW developer and fixer for negative stocks (developers such as D76)?
Asked by: Alexander
Unfortunately, regular negative film developing chemistry won't work with the Foma Fomapan R100 Black and White Transparency Film (Double Standard 8mm, 32.8' Reel). You can use this Foma Reversal Process Developing Kit though. https://bhpho.to/4fbU1Tz

question

I just got my grandpas Bell and Howell Sportster. Im just starting to get educated. Will this film work?
Asked by: Jennifer T.
Yes, this is the only film in the world that will work in (non Super 8) 8mm movie cameras like the Sporster. Be sure to talk to the lab that is going to process the film so that you two are on the same page. You will have to learn how to thread the film, (research on-line for a manual) expose it, flip it, and then ship to the lab.
